Deep Space Pawnshop demo draws nearly 30,000 concurrent Steam players and 98% positive reviews amid criticism

Deep Space Pawnshop, a cyberpunk pawnshop management sim developed by Questing Goose Studio and published by tinyBuild, has only a demo out yet and already has 100,000 wishlists, nearly 30,000 concurrent players, and a 98% positive review rate. Player feedback centers on heavy randomness, late-game power costs eating into profits, a lack of onboarding, and incomplete story branches in the demo. The playtest drew 180,000 participants in total, and the full release is set for October 28.
